The threat of terrorists gaining access to American weapons left in Afghanistan.
The whispers of a major war in the region are already being heard in the international media; A war that seems to have prepared warlord circles for the region, but perhaps this time with terrorists armed with the world’s most modern military weapons.
The whisper of the Great War was heard two weeks ago when the Americans shocked the world in a hasty operation to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.
More than $ 85 billion, or $ 88 billion in US weapons, including fighter jets, attack helicopters, operational drones and point-of-sale weapons, were left in less than two nights.
Droping this amount of modern weapons in Afghanistan is not a trivial matter, as it can be catastrophic on a large scale in the region.
In the summer of 2016, amid the operation to liberate Fallujah in western Baghdad, a group of Iraqi forces were crossing the city’s western bridge toward the city center when they were hit by a Cornet missile, moments later the bodies and wounded bodies of at least 10 Iraqi fighters. They withdrew. The wounded also died one by one, and there were no facilities on site to rescue the wounded.
In those days, the issue of how the ISIS terrorist group had access to anti-tank missiles with the precision of missiles such as the Kornet was a serious debate, because these weapons are not like the Colt, Kalashnikov and RPG handguns and rifles in some markets. The region, including Iraq, is easily accessible, these weapons are only in the hands of governments and it is not easy to buy and sell them on the black market of weapons.
Now, for the first time in the history of the war on terror, the acquisition of this amount of modern weapons by groups in Afghanistan has been met with the least concern by the Americans, as if nothing significant had happened and no practical action has been taken. They did not retake or destroy the strategic weapons left in the country.
The dimensions of the story, with apocalyptic scenes such as the gathering of Afghans at Kabul airport and sitting on the wings and fuselage of a flying plane and the crash of a number of Afghans, and the continuing suicide attacks on the airport and the massacre of people, all raised the issue of weapons. The rest of the Americans in Afghanistan should be ignored in the news and reports.
However, the Western media themselves, despite all the currents aimed at deviating from the main issue, could not keep the story completely in denial, so that the Economist headlined by choosing a plan: “Where is the next world jihad?”
The story of Kabul Airport is still shrouded in mystery; The Americans first called themselves and dragged the people to the airport, where the evacuation of US troops and civilians and NATO members was to be carried out according to a plan, with a group of Afghan collaborators moving the troops out of Afghanistan, but the operation Extensive propaganda led to the nationwide evacuation of Kabul, and Afghans seeking to leave the country by other means seized the opportunity, as many of those who were able to leave the country were ordinary citizens.
The Americans continued to issue security warnings about the imminent ISIL attack on Kabul airport, which took place in less than 24 hours, and the Pentagon claimed as soon as the attack that the agents and planners of the attack were killed in an air strike in less than a few hours!
